Toki no Kane

Rising above the charming Edo-style kura (storehouse) townscape, the Toki no Kane has been a beloved symbol of Kawagoe since the early Edo period. This wooden, three-tiered bell tower stands about 16 meters tall and still chimes four times daily—at 6:00 a.m., noon, 3:00 p.m., and 6:00 p.m. The sound of the bell, blending with the color of the sky, the scent of the air, and the quiet streets, evokes a unique sense of timeless beauty and nostalgia in the heart of Koedo Kawagoe.5 minutes • Admission Ticket FreeView Location5
